Alnus mandschurica is not common in cultivation, but with its northerly distribution would seem to have promise for areas with harsh continental climates. It is in cultivation in the United States, from an introduction as seed (CBS-088) collected at 800 m in Changbai Co. of Jilin Province by the North America–China Plant Exploration Consortium 1997 Jilin China Expedition. A group of specimens from this source, planted out in 2000, were faring with mixed fortunes at the Morton Arboretum when seen in June 2006: one was dead, one was struggling, and the third was a vigorous young plant of 1.8 m. This last had big ovate leaves, of a dull matt green, although they had a slightly ‘pewtered’ appearance, with very finely toothed margins.
